Intermediate combat knowledge

This article contains intermediate information about how to battle in @Party. For those wanting to learn the basics, see the page on basic combat knowledge.

When fighting enemies who are stronger than you, simply attacking and healing alone won't cut it. This is when support skills really come in handy.

• If the enemy is mainly using physical attacks, lower their accuracy and agility.
• If the enemy is mainly using magic, lower their MP or seal their ability to use magic.
• If the enemy uses skills that buff their attack and defense power, disable the buff with WeaponBreak or ArmorBreak.

You will be able to change jobs once you hit level 20 (and beyond), but if you change jobs right away, your stats will remain low for a long time. Eventually you may find it very difficult to fight in quest locations with stronger enemies.

If you learned some powerful skills early on, don't feel pressured to change jobs right away. If you change jobs after reaching a higher level, you will develop a high-stats character.

Even if a skill seems useless on its own, there are many skills that can be made more powerful by teaming up with other players who have skills that work well with yours.

Example: @SoberingSlap
When it's 2-on-1, the opponent may not be able to do anything.

Example: @Nap + @DawnChorus
If HP is 600 or more, it recovers more than @Meditation, and it only consumes 5 MP.

Example: @DoubleUp + a recovery skill (or status buff)
By applying the temporary status in reverse, you'll recover twice as much as usual.

Example: @Kamikazee + @Life + @ShareMagic
Continuous hits of one of the strongest InstantDeath skills.

Even the weakest skills can have their effects multiplied by learning compatible skills.

Example: @Padfoot + @Lambpede (alternatively @Chocobuckle or @HighJump)
Combine this with weapons and armor that increase agility, and the strength will be…

Example: @BodySlam + @SuckBlood
SuckBlood will be so strong that their HP will be in a pinch.
